About

East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EMAS) provides emergency 999, urgent care services for the 4.8 million people within Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire. We also provide Patient Transport Services for Derbyshire, Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire patients with routine hospital or clinical appointments. We employ more than 4,400 staff across over 70 locations, including two Emergency Operations Centres at Nottingham and Lincoln. Our largest staff group is made up of our accident and emergency 999 crews and we operate a fleet of around 555 vehicles, including emergency ambulances, fast response cars, specialised vehicles and patient transport vehicles. Every day we receive around 3,300 calls from members of the public who have called 999 – the equivalent of receiving an emergency call every 25 seconds.
